manifestv2: add support for reading new manifest format

The new manifest format is designed to be smaller, in particular to
produce smaller deltas. It stores hashes in binary and puts the hash
on a new line (for smaller deltas). It also uses stem compression to
save space for long paths. The format has room for metadata, but
that's there only for future-proofing. The parser thus accepts any
metadata and throws it away. For more information, see
http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/ManifestV2Plan.

The current manifest format doesn't allow an empty filename, so we use
an empty filename on the first line to tell a manifest of the new
format from the old. Since we still never write manifests in the new
format, the added code is unused, but it is tested by
test-manifest.py.

  $ hg init
  $ echo a > a
  $ hg ci -Ama
  adding a

  $ echo b > b
  $ hg branch b
  marked working directory as branch b
  (branches are permanent and global, did you want a bookmark?)
  $ hg ci -Amb
  adding b

  $ hg co -C 0
  0 files updated, 0 files merged, 1 files removed, 0 files unresolved

Fast-forward:

  $ hg merge b
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  (branch merge, don't forget to commit)
  $ hg ci -Ammerge

Bogus fast-forward should fail:

  $ hg merge b
  abort: merging with a working directory ancestor has no effect
  [255]

Even with strange revset (issue4465)

  $ hg merge ::.
  abort: merging with a working directory ancestor has no effect
